Condition: Excellent. No real big flaws, a really nice card.

Comments: I actually got this card months ago but was too lazy to post. His real first name is John.

Hank Sauer



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Excellent. Fairly sharp corners and no creases. So far this is the best-conditioned card I have in the set.

Comments: First of four cards I got a few days ago. Sauer was NL MVP in 1952.

Gus Zernial



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Very good to excellent. Both bottom edges have wear but no real creases on the card.

Comments: Second of four cards I got a few days ago. In 1951, Zernial led the AL in homers (33) and RBI (129).

Sammy White



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Excellent. It's a bit off center, but not by a whole lot.

Comments: Third of four cards I got a few days ago. Is it just me or does he have some white teeth?

Roy McMillan



Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Excellent. No creases whatsoever but the card seems to have a very slight bubble in the top left corner. It's hardly noticeable.

Comments: Last of four cards I got a few days ago. A real nice card of the Cincinnati infielder.

Stan Musial













Where purchased: eBay

Condition: Poor to fair. Plenty of creases, rounded corners and pencil marks on Musial's face (near his nose).

Comments: I thought this would be the costliest card of the set but I was lucky enough to score this one for $xx. I was pretty excited to see a package in the mail today.

Carl Erskine













Where purchased: eBay
